No one really enjoys a first date.
It's naturally uncomfortable.
But some first dates are much worse than others.
Washington Post Express sports editor Sarah Kelly asked Twitter to share their first date horror stories.
People certainly had tales to tell.

Some stories were epics.
People were asked to do some pretty extreme things by people they just met.
The bad behavior was unfathomable.
But some lessons were learned.
In the end, Sarah Kelly concluded:
Yes, we all deserve better than what these unlucky daters got.
